The terror attack has led the entire country to condemn it strongly, including the film fraternity. In order to pay tribute to the CRPF soldiers, Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) decided to observe 'Black Day' today/ on Sunday.

No work was done between 2 pm and 4 pm today. A prayer session was also held for the brave hearts.

The solidarity march organised by FWICE was held at 2 pm, where a lot of celebrities joined the march. Some other film organisations have also extended their support to FWICE for their solidarity march today.

Chief advisor to FWICE and chairman of Indian Television and film directors association (IFTDA) Ashok Pandit had also extended support to the today's march and added that by this solidarity march we want to send a message that the whole industry is behind its brave hearts.

According to various media reports, Salman Khan was shooting for his upcoming film 'Bharat' on this day in the same time slot. Also, Amitabh Bachchan was about to shoot a commercial with former Indian cricketer Virendra Sehwag. However, all this was put on pause for this special session.
